I went to bike week this past June first time in a couple of years . Not really the best time to go . Way to many look at me aholes who have a 10 year old bike with 1000 miles on it . That and the fact it’s always rain and cold . Went the year before in August was fantastic .

Had to make this up to keep warm by the fire

I got my first squirrel since I put the feeders up the other day. I have a Gamo Whisper Fusion Mach 1 22 caliber breakopen pellet rifle. It packs a whopping 1020 fps.

i like my Gamo Rodent Relocator w/scope and lazer... .177 has the new, modified trigger. planning on setting up a new location shooting range. the location and idea just came to me. about 100'. 75/100. didn't like the trek path across the lawn....




this moose not going to get me!!

That is a sharp looking Goldwing that you have.

goes well with the Harley overcoat!

you seem to have those winter elements well under control!!!

Well, I’ve lived here in the interior of Alaska most of my life. We have been talking moving south, but I don’t do well in the heat. On the same hand, being able to do more stuff during the winter would be nice since I work away from home in the summer.

Most of us don’t consider anchorage to actually be part of Alaska.

Anchorage, Alaska’s largest city, is in the south-central part of the state on the Cook Inlet. It's known for its cultural sites, including the Alaska Native Heritage Center, which displays traditional crafts, stages dances, and presents replicas of dwellings from the area’s indigenous groups. The city is also a gateway to nearby wilderness areas and mountains including the Chugach, Kenai and Talkeetna.

I love airguns! Although I would probably shoot powder burners if our laws were more like they are in te States, but anyway.

I got 2 Benjamins, a (30ft lbs, which is too much really) break barrel and a pcp (Marauder pistol, aka P-rod, modified into a carbine and increased in power). And then some neat stuff by FX (Boss, .30 cal), BSA, Evanix and Shinsung.

Like I always said, Anchoroids are like hemorrhoids, they are both a pain in the azz!

This has been my pesky red squirrel gun for a long time now,

It's ready for whatever you run into,

I've shot a pile of those damredsquirrels with it!

Speaking of both of those cases, the hunter died because of a stuck cartridge. I’ve never had a cartridge stick in the chamber before. My son came home last night with one stuck. I’m assuming he got a little grit on the cartridge. A tap with a cleaning rod freed it. We swabbed the bore ahd there was nothing in it but powder residue.

I guess if you’re going in the back country, pack a cleaning kit!!

Anchorage is one of the rudest cities in the U.S. Travel and Leisure ranks Anchortown as the nation's fifth rudest community. Don't ask us where to see the northern lights, if we take American currency or whether we own a dog team instead of a car. Just leave your cash on the doorstep and get back on the cruise ship.

well, seems there are both positive and negative opinions. to be honest, i have had both positive and negative experiences visiting Anchorage. one PO'd me so much.... i ended up writing half dozen letters up that way, to including AK's govenor at the time! and that got results!!! lol really p'd me off in the tail end... and in the end, they ended up kissing it it to make amends! why couldn't they have been, well that person... so nice in the first place! and it cost him a few $$'s, too!

for the Good, Bad and the Ugly...
